Just seen the $ky$port$ news report on the Under 21 game. Looks like Ash got some time on pitch. Did anyone watch and how did he perform? No mention of him in the report.
Found a bit more info, he replaced England wonderkid Theo Walcott on 66 mins. We scored 11 mins later http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/internationals/5409968.stm
I watched it. He came on and once again it seemed to gel the team, he caused problems and just missed a chance of scoring on 87 minutes. the goal was an absolute cracker, from about 25 yards + from leighton baines (Wigan) absolute barn stormer that no keeper could have got too.... the german keeper was good and it left him standing.
Saw the goal, fantastc. If Ash keeps puttign in good apperances then it's only going to help with his confidence, not that I see there is a problem at the moment.
No there isnt, I did notice when watching it again earlier however he was looking a little tired at the end, which is a concern given he was only on for about 20 minutes or so.
I'd like to see him gain some more experience first. Call me selfish but I'd like him to be kept out of the limelight until the end of the season. I think if we are a stable Prem club by then it will be easier for us to get a replacement when the inevitable offers start rolling in.
Thats a good point, didn't think of that. Which works out quite well cause he could be unleashed for Euro 2008!
That makes sense.... and if his actim ratings keep going the way they are his value would increase significantly!
